What do you do with your Instant Pot you cant do with a crock pot?

^^^^ the IP has to go through a warm up, then cook, then slowly release the pressure to avoid boiling... so I would not say minutes.

It seems to me cooking a whole chicken in the oven as an example is only maybe 20% slower.

The single pot concept of adding veggies, and less cleanup is a big advantage to me of the IP. Plus the flavor. Just not so much the time difference in cooking.

My stew last night was GREAT, so much that tonight we are having leftover stew. :thumbsup:

Meat is more tender in the IP.

My wife is a hardcore crock pot holdout, but I’m making inroads. The last pork chops she did in the oven were rather chewy. I need to do some in the IP.

I made this tuna casserole last night but being low on groceries I had to improvise a little. No chicken stock so used Beef stock, no cream of celery so used two cans of cream of mushroom. No egg noodles so used a box of Rotini. (use anywhere from 3.5 to 4 cups of broth with Rotini and you should be fine. Due to no celery in fridge I also doubled up on the mushrooms. Also don't understand the pyrex bowl requirement. Used a stainless mixing bowl.

Even with these changes it turned out delicious. Even my picky wife loved it.

Exactly. I cannot go into the kitchen without one of the canine kitchen supervisors overseeing everything I do.
